Threat
Cook demanded full pay before getting fired, threatened actor couple
Vij told ETimes that their nanny allegedly caught the cook stealing from them. She claimed that the cook got drunk and started to abuse the couple when they tried to settle his pay and fire him. "The cook demanded to be paid for the entire month. When Jay tried to reason, he said '200 Bihari laake khada kar dunga (Will bring 200 Bihari people)'."
Fear
'What if he stabs me? What's the point then?'
Further, Vij informed that the cook harassed her by using obscene language. "What if he stabs me? If something happens to me, people will protest later. What's the point then?" said the Aparichithan actor. "I am scared for my family's safety. I heard he will be out on bail. What if he actually gets men after coming out of the jail and targets us?"
